Inventor: WADSWORTH ROBERT
Filed: 1898-05-16
Granted: 1899-05-16
Abstract: 11,089. Wadsworth, R. May 16. Gravel, sand, salt, and the like, scattering.- Relates to the type of cart described in Specifications No. 12,815, A.D. 1888, No. 20,773, A.D. 1889, and No. 3292, A.D. 1891. The sand is prevented from clogging over the travelling band by an agitator, consisting of a block P with prongs attached to a shaft A, and given a reciprocating or rotary motion by gear from the front shaft L of the endless band. In the form shown, a rocking motion is obtained by the crank D, link E, bell-crank lever F, connecting- rod I, and gear-wheels J, K. The supply of sand is regulated by a shutter A<2> working in guides B<2>, B<2> and opened more or less as required by the lever C'. When adjusted, the lever is held in position by a spring F<2> pressing it into the teeth of a rack E<2>. To throw grit in front of the wheels when the ground is slippery, two shoots lead from the cart towards the wheels, and are provided with flaps connected by a rod by which they may be opened or closed ; the flaps carry pronged rods for loosening the sand and preventing it from clogging in the shoots.

Title: Improved Incandescence Oil Lamp.
Inventor: REICHEL KARL
Filed: 1898-05-19
Granted: 1898-08-20
Abstract: 11,444. Reichel, K. May 19. Incandescent oil lamps.-The flame-spreader G is mounted upon a rack E, which terminates at its lower end in a disc or stop E<1>; and the wick carrier B, B<1>, C is provided with a rod I, which passes to the exterior of the burner. When the flame-spreader G is raised by means of the rack E, the disc E' abuts against the plate C, and the wick-carrier is raised also, until the button J strikes against the stop K. The wick, which is then flush with the top of the wicktubes A, A', is ignited, and, after the parts have become heated, the flame-spreader is lowered, as indicated by the dotted lines, and a Bunsen flame is produced. The descent of the spreader G does not affect the position of the wick, the downward movement of which is effected by depressing the button J. By then still further lowering the spreader G the flame may be extinguished. A cylindrical chimney is employed with the burner, and, as there is little or no carbonization of the wick, the stop K prevents the latter, once it has been properly adjusted, from being turned too high, and thus the mantle is not damaged by smoke. The outer air supply may be controlled by a hit-and-miss valve.
